Summary: A Complete Roadmap.
Review: This book is just what I needed for a complete roadmap to the technological planning, implementing and deploying a corporate portal within our business. It is just what I have needed to push the importance of this concept to our division managers to gain their support and championship. For a global organization like ours, knowledge sharing is a critical success factor and a corporate portal is instrumental to that end. Thank you Ms. Collins.

Summary: Poorly written, badly organised, repetitive
Review: This book is very badly written. It is full of gobbledegook; for example: "The corporate portal solution is deployed in several iterations or design phases in order to revaluate universal or global features as the portal application incorporates functionality in the higher levels of personalization and navigation." The book contains a great deal of needless repetition. The English is dense; you have to constantly figure out what the author is trying to say. The paragraphs jump abruptly from one theme to another. Fortunately I work for a company producing one of the major portals. Our online help gives me a succinct answer to the use of portals. If you want a pleasant read on portals, look elsewhere.
